Natwest suffered from a great deal of bad press this week after a technical blunder caused services to not work, and by the time the issue was fixed, a huge backlog of customer transactions was left in place for the bank to work hard on and catch up with.

However, more than a week since the issue first occured, the problem has now been solved and Natwest say that they have caught up with the backlog and are now operating as normal.

There are still issues in the airspace of banking however, so the branches across the UK will be open from 8-6 this week (25th June to 29th June), as according to RBS group tweet:

Update on technical issue: 1200 main branches opening late 25th to 29th June http://t.co/rGVCu4ym ‪#NatWest‬‪#RBS‬

The biggest trend on Twitter right this moment is Natwest, with over 500 tweets every single minute being posted, since the RBS update a few moments ago.

In the same news, Nathalie Westerman is still being bombarded with tweets, after a shortened version of her name gave her the idea of the Twitter username Natwest. She is claiming she is not a bank, but with thousands of people adding @natwest to their tweets from assumption without even looking at the profile, she is receiving a huge amount of tweets. lets hope her email alerts are off.
